2015 Challenger with "Hell Cat" engine option.

The "Hell Cat" is supposed to be the last Hurrah before the new "CAFE" numbers start to take effect. The 6.2 Hemi is supposed to be in the 620-640 hp range. This is to be paired with an 8 or 9 speed auto. A bit of fun with the name - in WW II the Hell Cat was a tank destroyer. That is an attack tank with huge power and limited armor that was designed attack and destroy enemy tanks that had already penetrated friendly territory. ( Camaro Z-28/ Shelby GT - 500 ) This should be very entertaining!

alpha tango victor:Please please please put this in the 300 and Charger. Please.

Both have been seen testing with this engine as well. It will get the 8 speed auto in the Challenger but...no mention of the TR6060 on the HELLCAT. I imagine they would offer it as 1/2 of the Challengers sold are manual anyways.

Agree with Dingo, the weak sauce is the current 6/7 speeds across the Dodge lineup.

I am loving this engine, but with the current cafe standards and muscle cars loosing fat like the Mustang and becoming more of a global car is signaling the end of the muscle car wars. I expect just minimum or limited production models in the years to come with slimmed down versions and less V8 offerings.

It was the economy and gas prices that ended it back in the early 70's and it appears to be ending now.

I love this engine though, have to check out the dyno torque curve as well.

Just bought a "regular" SRT8 392 challenger and got it for the reason that cars like this are coming to an end. Huge N/A engines in a comfortably sized car is on it's way out. The next gen pony cars are gonna be about the size of a Genesis or BRZ. Pretty much a 2 seater. And probably turbo'ed. Kinda like when the 60's came to an end. Gas prices pushed the market into smaller cars with Fuel economy as the top priority.

Christian Seabaugh:Fun fact: The M18 Hellcat Tank Destroyer was built by Buick.
